How does petrification link to how the oldest fossils are found in the lowest rock

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In geology, petrifaction or petrification is the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals. Petrified wood typifies this process, but all organisms, from bacteria to vertebrates, can become petrified. Petrification (petros means stone) occurs when the organic matter is completely replaced by minerals and the fossil is turned to stone. This generally occurs by filling the pores of the tissue, and inter and intra cellular spaces with minerals, then dissolving the organic matter and replacing it with minerals. Researchers at UCLA and the University of Wisconsin–Madison have confirmed that microscopic fossils discovered in a nearly 3.5 billion-year-old piece of rock in Western Australia are the oldest fossils ever found and indeed the earliest direct evidence of life on Earth. The study, published Dec.

What is the function of enzymes in cells​
Agata [3.3K]
Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells. They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism.

If a person had not drunk any water for 8 hours before collecting a sample, would you expect his/her urine to have a high or low
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The person’s urine will have a high specific gravity

Explanation:

A high specific gravity is characterized by an increased concentration of solutes in the urine of am individual. A low specific gravity is characterized by a low or decreased concentration of the solutes.This is usually due to dehydration as a result of environmental conditions or tedious physical activities.

This explains why a person who had not drank any water for 8 hours and is dehydrated before collecting a sample is thought to have a urine with a high specific gravity

<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters
